Chuck Berry will be 90 next week.


Worth a shout out in advance.

You had to post this?  That means I'm.....

Never mind

As far as I'm concerned, Chuck invented rock n roll guitar
Wanted to post something on someone who deserves accolades before rather than after they are gone.

Martykl however old you are congrats on that also. 🎂
Oops, forgot Little Richard is also still above ground. The movie Keith Richards did on Chuck (Hail, Hail Rock 'n' Roll) is a must see. To hear Chuck's style perfected (he can be credited with creating it, but is not it's best practitioner!), give a listen to Dave Edmunds.
I was listening to Johnnie Johnson's "Johnnie B Bad" this weekend. He was Chuck's keyboard player for many years and supposedly co-wrote "Roll Over Beethoven" and several other classics with Berry. Chuck wrote "Johnny B Goode" in his honor. This solo album is good fun with Keith Richards and Eric Clapton playing guitar in his band.
